Mac OS X Server 1.2v3

[Macbookprodude]

Hello,

can someone tell me what ways this early version of OS X can be used ? It looks radically kewl and want to know what it could still be used for. I have a Titanium PB 1Ghz G4 and Pismo - will it work on those ? I also saw it has blue box 8.6 Mac OS.

I have successfully installed OS X Server 1.2v3 on my PowerMac G4 Sawtooth with its original ATI Rage 128 GPU. I had no particular use for it, but wanted to see the best of Rhapsody in action. The full screen Mac OS 8.6 BlueBox is very cool.

I installed the included Developer Tools to try out some early NextStep / YellowBox Objective-C - much of which evolved into the basis of Mac OS X's Cocoa / AppKit Framework.

It's possible to write simple GUI apps which compile on Rhapsody and Mac OS X with only very minimal framework re-linking. But once you go beyond basic UI interactions, OS X Cocoa developed things much, much further.

Unfortunately, your Titanium and Pismo are not supported. Check the laptop compatibility list here:

The Rhapsody Thread (Mac OS X Server 1.x)

Mac OS X Server 1.x Last one of these for now! This is certainly one of the more interesting operating systems that can be run on an older PowerPC Mac given that it is in many ways an early beta of what became the Mac OS X that we know today, yet it was also released and sold as a retail...
